Book Reviews of On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
Book Review: Must read for the military or police.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, as many have stated, is great for understanding the psychology of someone returning from the battlefield. But for those who have yet to enter the battlefield, or will shortly find themselves returning, I suggest they read On Combat. That book deals much more with the subject of the physiology and psychology of the act of combat itself and how to prepare for it, rather than how to recognize and deal with it after the fact.
